    Friends were craving Sopiaipilla and we thought this was an actual factory, but it was a restaurant. The staff was friendly. We were able to enjoy some desserts for the kids. Their favorite was the sopaipilla with the cinnamon sugar.

    Would you drive 30 miles round trip just for stuffed sopaipilla? Place is listed as in Santa Fe , but is actually 15 miles out of in Pojoaque , in the boon docks, halfway to Los Alamos. In a shopping center, with plenty of parking, lots of windows, clean and open ambiance restaurant. Meeting a friend of my wife when she worked in Los Alamos 18 years. We each ordered the $13.75 stuffed sopaipilla, while friend ordered beef enchilada. Service is on the leisurely side. The stuffed sopaipilla was filled with chicken, rice and vegetables. Looked like a square enchilada 5" square. Combination went well together, especially when adding green chile to give it more spice. Ate it with a knife and fork as the sopaipilla was covered with a layer of melted cheese, and chile sauce. Dish came with a very small salad and cornbread. Friend's $13.75 enchilada dish came with two beef enchiladas, Mexican rice small salad of tomatoes, and pinto beans. Wife and I ate everything on our plates, but friend, lifetime New Mexico resident, still hasn't gotten used to pinto beans, leaving most of it. Dessert was fluffy sopaipilla with butter and honey. Loved the dough but not what it did for my waistline.

    Food here is pretty good but for me, it's all about their desserts and the Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary is nice and spicy. Fried rice cream and ice cream stuffed Sopapilla are amazing. Good place to stop on your way between Española and Santa Fe.

    I personally didn't care for my sopapilla or the salsa, I found both to be very bland and the chicken tasted watery to me. The salsa tasted more of tomatoes than anything else, I probably would not go back to this restaurant. The atmosphere was nice and the service was great, I can't complain there.

    Sopaipillas come with every entree. Puffy and soft and just a little bit salty. Delicious with some honey on top. The big combo plate was full of winners. Comes with a Chile Relleno (spicy, gooey and crispy all at once), a tamale (exceptional flavor and texture with a good heat), and a cheese enchilada (delicious blend of cheese and Chile). The pinto beans on the side were full of flavor. The rice was soft and moist. The Pueblo Taco was a delicious balance of flavor and textures. The chips and salsa were pretty good. The salsa was not spicy, but had large chunks of tomato and onion. Decor is family friendly and casual. Service was a bit rough when we went but they were short staffed so I won't hold it against them.

    I ordered stuffed sopapillas with beef and red and green chile and combo with chile relleno and enchilada with red sauce. Food was solid! Also enjoyed a side of sopapillas with honey butter. They were delicious, fluffy and light! It's more of a casual establishment, but I would definitely come here if I'm in the area in the future.

    Plenty of parking available, the lot is level with plenty of handicap spots. They were busy, we were greeted and sat immediately. The stage is pleasant and cheery. We sat for maybe 5 minutes when our waiter came to our tablet, took our drink order. He came back with our drinks and took our food order. 8 minutes wait and our food was brought to our table, two stuffed sopaillas, and two additional dessert sopapillas. The food was as we ordered, my husband had a stuffed sopapilla, beef and bean with green chile. I had a stuffed sopapilla with refried beans and green chile. Tasted like home made to us. The sopapillas are fresh, great size and so tasty. The Chile was not too hot, had a good flavor. We drank iced tea it was fresh brewed. They offer 9 vegetarian entrees. The price is fair, the portions are great, you won't go away hungry. If your hungry and want to leave full, this is the place to eat.

    Definitely a find! It's a hole-in-the-wall place with authentic Mexican/New Mexican food. The chili relleno was outstanding, the chicken enchilada could have had a better balance in the placement of the chicken, but it was great too! The guacamole was one of the best I've ever had. Don't look for tourists here unless you're looking in the mirror. And don't be surprised by the innocuous interior. Inexpensive, a bargain at twice the price!

    The fluffy, crispy sopaipilla did not disappoint. Plain, with butter, honey, sugar, or cinnamon... All are warm & uplifting!!

    Bland. Nothing special food. Service was fine. Nothing special about this place. I would go somewhere different next time.

    I hadn't been here in years (17 to be exact). To be honest, I have never been in love with this…read moreplace as I find the food to be mediocre but the ambience is nice (more of an upscale dining experience) so I get why people like it here. This was BFF's first time here and he loved it. Both he and mom ordered the carne adovada plate which came with refried beans and rice (they did state that the red chile was too spicy though). I ordered a bean and cheese burrito with both red and green chile (Xmas style). It was ok but 16 bucks for this was too expensive. We also ordered a margarita each and they were also just ok and too expensive at 13 bucks each. As for the parking, it is kind of confusing but there is plenty of (unmarked) spots and kind of like a maze. We dropped off mom on the side (she is handicapped) as there really isn't a front side where you can drop off anyone. Our server was so genuinely nice though and provided excellent service and she went above as well as she noticed us dropping mom off via the cameras and told us we could go out through the side entrance. Would I be back? Most likely not as I had mentioned above that this place has never been one of my favorites but I am sure I am in the minority. I hear it is quite the place to be seen (for happy hour).

    Dessert and drinks are always my favorite part here, especially the natillas (like an horchata…read morepudding.) I prefer those over the flan. The kids love the arroz con pollo soup. Fajitas are always a hit. I got the taco combo plate this last time and had to take most of it to go as the portions are huge and a little greasy, but everything was delicious. Service is always great even when we come in with 10-20 people. It can be a little cramped, but they accommodate our huge parties. Bathrooms are nice and clean.
